Air-Handling Unit Manufacturer Expands MS Facility
HATTIESBURG, MS — Johnson Controls has begun an expansion on its air-handling unit manufacturing facility in Mississippi. The 22,000 square-foot expansion will create 40-50 new assembly jobs to boost production and the local economy. The facility, which manufactures both YORK and Miller-Picking brand systems, is increasing its footprint in response to the growing demand for custom air-handling units.
“We’re excited to start this project, create attractive employment opportunities for area residents, and serve the growing needs of the heating and air conditioning industry,” says Ramiro Rodriguez, Johnson Controls plant manager. “This expansion is another chapter in our long-term commitment to employees, Forrest County, and area business partners.”
